pulled the transmission and its fine so decided to check the motor took the timing cover off and fml it jumped time junk motor after 2000 miles:banghead:

had it running and boosting then the transmission locked up.....

its been a while since i have posted but car runs now figured out why it acted like it wasnt getting fuel lmao after the video of its "startup" we threw my old 450s back in and it fired right up hopefully heading to the shoot out after some quick fixes it melted the water line from the turbo...

i got everything installed but am having problems it wont stay running its aggravating and if anyone can help id appreciate it but ill be tring little things and fix boost leaks and see if i can get it figured out.

I was just gonna get an ebay one for now probly srs meanwhile tried to re gloss my taillights

As a fellow broke 19 year old i love your car which is saying something since i hate tan soft tops and i think that the people on here took your title too seriously i mean guys hes doin the best he can i make more than he does but you dont see me going and blowing all my money to build something...

Sounds like a cracked clutch fork same thing happened in my buddies 1g.

So pretty lol

welllll if u wanna see look in my thread i will say im kinda doing a bare bones build to 300 im poor ROFLhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm-build-journals/474779-300-hp-dd-98-tsi-fwd.html

Im on my way up to 300 hp daily and man go to the classifieds itll save you money and im getting a 16g for my 300 hp goal just a thought :D

Parts in the mail! i sent the ecu out to be tuned and the turbo just got ordered im getting close now i just need an exhaust :p

This is all that is correct i tinted my headlights because i bought new ones and wanted to try it and all the wet sanding in the world coldent get the peeling outer coat to go away dont do it.:D

small 16g turbo:D

Thank you for having faith in me but i have a mac and its a real old crappy one that i doubt they would make compatible with it and hes only charging 60 bucks so i dont mind hes a local dsmer. :thumb:

Ok big update im sending the ol black box ecu out to a fellow dsmer and hes gonna tune it for me and give me 2 step and antilag control as well finally the tuning question has been answered! :D

Ok i just got mine out and the 14mm didnt move the 19 broke loose and i just took the hose off and the line on the pump was welded to it also mine doesnt have the threaded ring in the video its a bunch of 8mm nuts hope it helps.

I finally got the fuel pump out and the evo9 in and got the interior all pretty again!

I know how u feel im in the middle of putting an evo fuel pump in and i swear whoever lubed the 2 fittinf on top at the factory used sand and a torch.

Thanks man i appreciate it:thumb: the only thing im worried about honestly is tuning my computer sucks and i know nothing about tuning the air fuel lol

I love the way my talon looks, but Id say you are ahead of me at least you have the turbo :thumb:

got my new injectors in took 5 minutes tried to get the fuel pump out forgot my wrenches at my house (15 miles away from my house) changed the wheel caps on the gst wheels doing stupid little things like replacing clamps hoses ect...

ive been looking at safc and dsmlink and honestly dsmlink looks easier all around to install and use but might hafta try and run it without a tune for a few weeks.:sosad:

If anything id try the dremel first but only until u can snap the ring then it might be able to flex out.

so I have gathered yet another part in my journey to have this car on the road it's an evo9 fuel pump now all I need is the not broken turbo lol

Got some stuff in the mail today a hallman mbc and some Evo 9 injectors I thought Evo injectors were pink thought?EDIT turns out they are lucas/RC 550s or 510s D1151BA is the id number

I Know right on the bright side new turbo on the bad side costs money LOL

So little update got the transmission back together and it had no reverse turns out i spilled more fluid draining it then i thought got another quart put it in and my reverse came back:thumb:After this victory i decided some on my new parts should go on i got hard IC piping for stock pipes...

That sounds like mine did when i had no vacccume line on the intake after a rebuild i reattached every thing put slightly thicker oil in and it went away:thumb:

Ok im saying this and its probly gonna sound stupid but is there a spacer on your slave cylinder? I guess when i switched transmissions in my buddys 1990 talon we forgot to put it back in and were at a loss for longer than id like to mentionLOL.

Why did u even take that off to begin with thats the one on the firewall isnt it?

More Information for POWER STOP KOE4221 looking into getting pads and rotors does anyone have any experience with these they are from rock auto and seem pretty good and cheap :D

+1 on hks i just got one for 100 bucks :thumb:

I got this today part one of my income tax goodies!

Little update i got my shift kit installed and it wasnt actually hard just annoying working with little pieces i wish IPT would paint the colored springs in a way the paint wouldent rub off during shipping LOL but other than that I followed the videos and it turned out great replacing solenoids...

My bet is a tiny hole somewhere in the hydraulic system i had a fiero that did the same thing turned out to be a pin hole in the brake master cylinder rubber gromet. :thumb:

no there isnt an engine light all the time because the code is stored in the tcu not the ecu.:thumb:

If the car is stuck in limp mode dont assume it needs rebuilt that may not fix it my car is currently in limp mode right now i bought another tcu and overlooked all my sensors and found it to be the shift selenoids so 250$ fix not cheap but not a whole tranny. :thumb:

I finally got around to tearing my valve body out transmission fluids is frieken cold :p now onto tearing it apart for my shift kit install :thumb:

Ok i went through the 2g engine bay electrical connector thread and couldent find the sensor that pulled out of the bellhousing ill try and get a better look tomaro does anone off hand know what it is?:confused:Ok did a little online scouring and found the ripped out thing i thought was a...

Alittle update as some may know im tearing out my transmission because limp mode problems ect well i started getting into it and found this plug was pulled out of the bell housing i dont know what it is yet im going to look it up but im thinking this did it any way in the one picture is my motor...

I so much so want a small 16 but i cant find them near me at all :idontknow:

I seen this car in new castle its my cousins friends old car glad to see it went to someone who knows how to treat it right :thumb:

I been reading like crazy way before i posted this lol thats why i elimenated the balence shafts and used alot of really expensive parts for extra assurance :thumb:

Wouldent it be in no way similar its a 4g63 not a 420a?:confused:

Found these on Craigslist all 4 for only 100 bucks a few scratches but a great deal.

what is safc? and is that the stock evo injectors? amd i have ecu flash idk how to use it tho :confused:

i was worried about going to that much fuel management because idk how to tune:confused:pipnorcali i usually browse them frequently i got the short block from there that was in the pictures above :thumb:

thank you but from what i read all i need is a 190 fuel pump i could be wrong i have no idea what im going to tune with yet but my ecu is flashable and my tcu is an eprom so thats a good thing i guess lol and my balance shafts were already deleted i used SIMs kit boy does the front end shake :thumb:

Ok so ive compiled a small list of my expected upgrades and approximate cost assuming i ruin nothing lol -auto meter boost gauge-70$ -hks bov ssqv with recirc kit 300$ -hallman manual boost controller-105$ -thermal R and D exhaust with 3in weld on flange-600$ -megan downpipe-190$ -190...

I was almost going to buy the VSFR full fmic kit that was on group buy here but thats around the time it broke lol
